I’ve also heard that they tend to fire quickly if they don’t deem you a “fit.” Advertising is a risky enough endeavor without people randomly deciding in the first few weeks if they should fire you or not.

Met with strategy leadership and it definitely wasn’t a fit

CDs come with a very strong pedigree and have good taste and instincts, but strategy and acct “leadership”...

It's a haunted house where the melting bleeding walls are telling you to geeeeeet oooout. Listen to those walls. Pitch looks cool on paper for being women-owned, and that is cool, but the work is el stinko and in no danger of improving.

Pitch WAS good five or so years ago. But now, there’s no good work to be made and you’ll be worked to tge bone while doing that terrible work. Freelance if you’re desperate for (little) money. But avoid fulltime.

Pitch was always more personality than substance. They had a few noteworthy leaders (well, press-worthy) and recruited some good creatives early, but the work was never there. Their most successful campaign is for itself.

@CD the CDs are married and left LA to work at Theranos. Im not sure about the instincts part. Or the pedigree part.

A dumpster fire.

I’m worried that if I find a new position for a new company and the economy going to sh** that I am worried about job security. Anyone else feel this way?
